Folly Hill

Part of the 'Summer of '24' range, eight images inspired by my many dog walks in the West Oxfordshire and Cotswold countryside. This collection depicts this glorious region during my favourite time of year. Late Spring/ early summer for me is the perfect time, when everything is so lush and green, blooms are emerging in pretty pastels and wildlife is just going crazy!

'Folly Hill' is inspired by Faringdon, home to Lord Berners who decided that building a folly to annoy the neighbours was a splendid idea! Alongside painting the pigeons pink and inviting horses for tea! Many of my paintings are of no particular place, imagined and referenced from lots of places together, however this is is more or less real! The pastel houses do line the approach towards the hill, and also included are some of the 'four and twenty blackbirds' from which this place inspired Henry Pye's poem.

This painting is painted in professional quality acrylic paint, on a standard depth, premium cotton stretched canvas, measuring 40 cms x 40 cms. The canvas is painted on the sides and finished off with a light mist of matt varnish for protection

As the sides are painted, it can either come strung on the back ready to hang as it is, or it can be ready framed in a white wooden painted float frame. Please choose your selection. 

It will be signed and dated by myself the artist.
